#186199 — How to install extra TeX fonts without crud?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello.

I want to install some fonts to use in LaTeX that seem to be available
only in the “texive-fonts-extra” package. The problem, is that
“texive-fonts-extra” depends on a lot of fonts packages that I do not
want. Is there a way to install only the TeX fonts contained in
“texive-fonts-extra” without the other packages?

Thanks.

One way is to download the deb file and install it via 'dpkg -i 
texlive-fonts-extra_2016.20170123-5_all.deb'.

For Stretch:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/all/texlive-fonts-extra/download

Thanks you for your reply.

Won't dpkg refuse to install because of missing “dependencies”?

Of course it will. So you have to cheat:

apt download texlive-fonts-extra

dpkg -x texlive-fonts-extra*deb /tmp/1

mkdir -p ~/.fonts/texlive-fonts-extra

mv /tmp/1/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype ~/.fonts/texlive-fonts-extra

# Everything else you might need from /tmp/1/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/

rm -rf /tmp/1 texlive-fonts-extra*deb


Installing these fonts systemwide is left as an exercise for the
readers.

OTOH you could start by reading §4.3 in
/usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian.pdf.gz
or one of the other formats (txt, html).

Cheers,
David.

dpkg -i --ignore-depends=<dependency-package> <deb-file>
